Nurturing the potential of every child and teen…
We believe all kids have potential and should have the opportunity to discover who they are, express themselves, and be nurtured in all their possibility.

CHILD CARE

Ys are the nation’s largest provider of child care. We provide high-quality and affordable programs that are family-centered and values-based to nurture children’s healthy development. Our preschool and school-age child care programs encourage family involvement through special events, newsletters and volunteers in the classrooms.

CHILD CARE PROGRAMS AT THE KEARNEY FAMILY Y INCLUDE:

EDUCATION

All youth have wonderful potential. At the Y, we help them set and achieve goals, including personal and educational. As they recognize the Y as a place where they belong, they will gain confidence. Allow your child to experience new interests and passions while having fun! We offer preschool for children who are one or two years away from attending kindergarten. Our nine month preschool is offered mid August through mid May and the classes focus on age appropriate skills, large motor development, songs, games and crafts.

SWIM SPORTS PLAY

The Y is the best place for your child to learn the importance of becoming and staying active! They will develop healthy habits that will carry them throughout their lives. Whether it’s gaining confidence that comes from learning to swim or building positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building character.

The Y is committed to providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. We make every effort to ensure that no one is turned away due to inability to pay. Click to read more about our financial assistance.
